The leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Rivers State, on Tuesday, challenging Governor Siminalayi Fubara to account for the N144.2bn federal allocation received by the state in the last five months, claiming that there was nothing on the ground to show for the funds.

But defending the governor, the Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joseph Johnson, accused the APC of playing politics.

The APC leader urged the Assembly Speaker to keep a close watch on the governor.
